IMO there are numerous excellent quality audio components available to satisfy a broad spectrum of taste. The problem is you will never hear them all.The Tru... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Tom,I believe the Truth Line Stage is the genuine truthđ. No doubt that it is as excellent sounding as you and Arthur Salvatore report.Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts David,We discussed the Found Music 2A3 Music 2A3 SET (FM) at great length prior to your purchase. As you know Iâm not the least bit surprised with your dare I say amazement with its sucess pairing with your Tekton SEs. To be fair this is far beyon... | |
| JAY'S Audio CDT-3-MK2 or PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player I haven't heard the Jay Audio CD12 but 6 Moons gave it an excellent review. I also respect the opinion of Teajay. I can say that I've owned the PS Audio PWT for over 7 very happy years. It mates beautifully with my Yamamoto YDA DAC and sounds ver... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC I believe it's short sighted to judge a DAC based on its chipset. There are a multitude of pertinent factors that determine the final sound quality (SQ) and performance of the end product. 2 DACs for example could utilize the same chips and yet o... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. Essrand,I believe that people appreciate a honest opinion from forum posters, call it as you see (hear) it. The Lyngdorf has gotten high praise from the 'vast' majority of its happy owners so I certainly believe that it's an excellent audio produc... | |
| If you could just pick one instrument that you think sounds best on your speakers Well perhaps I'm inferring blueranger's request improperly but he didn't ask for speaker identification. He asked for one instrument that sounds best. Anyway it's a fun endeavor. Charles | |
| Have opportunity to buy BHK 300's or Pass Labs 250.8 for my Thiel 3.7's- thoughts?? By all accounts Bascom King did a masterful job with the BHK amplifiers. Pass Labs has earned an esteemed reputation. Iâd audition both of them at home . I donât agree that Pass is a no brainer choice compared to the BHK. You must listen and then ... | |
| If you could just pick one instrument that you think sounds best on your speakers Blueranger, Yes, a tough question. Many instruments sound wonderful through my speakers. In keeping with the criteria of "1" instrument, Vibraphone,Charles | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? Thaluza,The Truth seems to possess extraordinary resolving. capability given your comments and those of LP written above. A legitimate top tier line stage that's actually quite affordable. Ironically in some sectors of  High End audio this (affo... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? Hi Thaluza,I donât doubt you and your excellent taste (after all we have the same amplifiers đ). I do know that Arthur Salvatore has the very highest regard for the Coincident Statement Line Stage (active) and the EMIA (passive). He ranks both as ... | |
| Trumpeteer Roy Hargrove passes at 49. This is very sad news . I saw Roy live back in the early 1990s as he emerged as a a young and rapidly rising trumpeter. This was just before the release of his excellent tribute recording to Charlie Parker titled "Partnerâs Mood" on the Verve labe... | |
| Best possible separates for Thiel CS 3.7 Thieliste, Your wife has good ears and good tasteđ. I suspect that she may notice the intrinsic relative 'dryness' of much solid state (granted not all) components compared to well implemented tube electronics. It's good that she's a willing par... | |
| Best possible separates for Thiel CS 3.7 Thieliste, Does your wife have extensive listening experience with High End audio or a musician background? A lot of women seem to have a knack (experienced ears or not) for identifying what many would reefer to as a natural sound. Does she also p... | |
| Best possible separates for Thiel CS 3.7 Hello Al,As always, thanks for contributing consistently intelligent and thorough technical analysis. I knew that Aries Cerat (AC) is in an unique category of tube amplification due to its near over the top approach of engineering, design and exec... |
